^^ yes, and that is the problem most of the time. You sit and say it's thier money and as long as they are happy, but then you have to turn around and make a snide comment about the purchase anyway.

Here's the deal. If you're going to post your wheels for opinions, don't get bent out of shape if I come along and render a negative view. Everyone else voiced theirs, why can't I? I'm not being impolite, just honest. Maybe no one wants honesty anymore. Ok the smilies might have been over the top...but I was being playful...honestly...
I guess if you want to wear the "Emperor's Clothes", so be it. I'll keep my fingers away from the keyboard like CrispyRx7 and DamonB...

Please don't start **** with me now, I'm offering a bi-partisan opinion on this thread that has gone south. Your persona here doesn't threaten me nor are you the only one who follows wheels in depth. So please drop it

Sleep, you know people don't normally wonder about my opinion either because I'll give it. But when I tell someone I don't like their choice I don't get suprised when they don't like to hear it 
...and anybody who has ever posted a pic of "My New (blank)!!" secretly wants us all to tell them we love it, otherwise they wouldn't have posted it. That's why I don't go in the interior/exterior section much, because then I'd have to tell them their unpainted cf hood and new body kit look like ***

The Racing and High Performance Tire A new in depth book by Paul Haney that is full of info about the modern racing tire.
Highly recommended. I'll finally get around to buying the Milliken's book now, then Gillespie's, then Dixon's shock book.

Wow, I leave you guys for a couple of hours to go play some football and basketball and you turn this into fight club. Shame on all of you 
Im kidding. Anyways, those rims did cost a HELLUVA lot more than what you paid for yours (almost 5 times as much!), but I do have the performance and looks. I just lost out on the price side of the equation. It all equals out in the end. Thanks for the compliment sleep, but next time you all can leave my nutz out of it. I kinda like them right where they are.

Oh yeah, and the cop came by wondering if I upgraded to racing cams yet. 
Just kidding, he was there first, I parked next to him because it was the only spot with one open next to it so I can get a pic.

Oh, in that case it was only three times as much (I forgot that the 700 or whatever was only for the rims). I'm kidding about the nutz thing; I know how vicious these things can get, but its all in good fun. You should see the slanderous talk in the SE regional forum. Your rims do look good man, and for that price it is an awesome deal IMO, but I HAVE to have the performance on my car because I have a heavy foot sometimes.
